    Secondly, why pick the University of Chicago?

      Click bait.
      The author has to put "Harvard" in the title or no one would want to read the article.

          I mentioned Aqua, because the Shakespeare argument during an extended deprived sleep period struck me as something he would do.

          Now...Ax attending the school? That would be interesting...

                Yeah, I very well might, but between the two of us, it's my wife who's the real Shakespeare scholar. She was an expert even before she started college. Then when she did, she basically majored in Shakespeare. Sure, I know the sonnets okay, but she schools me on the plays.

                Heck yeah I'd attend as an undergrad. Honestly I do wish I'd gone somewhere else, but I also wasn't in a position to make a well-reasoned decision about my education at the time, so ah well, it worked out I suppose.

                Please love yourself.

                    Orientals know so much karate chops. If there was a fight, me and Ax and TG would win because of kung fu fighting.

                        Some people know so little karate chops, it's like they know negative karate chops. Sad.

                          "Orientals?" You said "Orientals?"

                          That would get you fired at Starbucks.

                            My daughter loves Shakespeare, since about 8th grade. Very knowledgeable about it.

                                      In Sun Tzu’s Art of War, one of the most famous passages states that when fighting round eyes, alway karate chop to the nose, for it is unmistakeable and cannot be missed.

                                          Orientals know so much karate chops. If there was a fight, me and Ax and TG would win because of kung fu fighting.

                                          Non-islamic/persian Asian people might be a better choice of words.

                                          People from different cultures, countries, racial groups and religious faiths are involved in the production of oriental rugs. Since many of these countries lie in an area which today is referred to as the Islamic world, oriental rugs are often also called “Islamic Carpets”,[5] and the term “oriental rug” is used mainly for convenience. The carpets from Iran are known as “Persian Carpets”.
